Walrus I totally agree about the little box labelling !!<br><br>tell that to Matt !... anyone disagrees with him get labeled a liberal !!<br>That's fine with me, but he acts like they're lepers.<br><br>Like you, I'm conservative on some issues, liberal on others,..<br><br>I criticize Bush, and I criticize some Dems... neither Party is perfect - in fact both have their disfunctional sides- IMHO ! <br>anyone who believes either is better and that ONE has no faults, doesn't have any intelligence or common sense.<br><br>David (OFI)<br>

"I certainly take no offense from your remarks. I just feel that trying to fit someone into a little labeled box stamped "Liberal" or "Conservative" based on short list of yes/no questions is demeaning to anyone with a modicum of intelligence and who understands that there are rarely simple answers to compex questions."<br><br>Agreed.<br><br>

You are spot on. lanovami. It is all about votes and lobbying for Government to supply an income for the farmers.<br>It is not about Ethanol being a route out of this mess.. it is all about making the intractable mess more inextricable at the expense of the average human for the purpose of finding a way to sell an overproduction of corn or sugarcane or whatever they are proposing the making ethanol from.<br>There is nil in the way of evidence that ethanol is any kind of better alternative other than a dubious way of extending the time limit of the crisis point.<br><br><br>but where will we be when the future comes?

Actually, 20% of ethanol will ruin most engines.. a figure between 10% and 15% may make a better mix.<br>Yes Ethanol costs more to produce and the only real reason for looking down this ethanol avenue is that of finding ways to keep farmers who have non-viable incomes from worn out farms, to continue to do the same things.<br><br>
